Besides, I liked your response. You don't?<BR/><BR/>Kristarella: I agree.<BR/><BR/>Brian: I agree with you, too. That is what I was referring to when I used the term, "polish".

When a swordsman would crack his sword he'd have to take it to the Blacksmith to get it fixed. In order to fix the sword the Blacksmith would have to heat it up to an extremely hot temperature, then beat the crap out of it with a hammer. In the end, the sword comes out stronger for all the punishment.<BR/><BR/>Think of yourself as a sword. And God as the Blacksmith. Maybe this will give you a little help along the way as well.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520144122097172506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-7478458221357980892007-12-04T20:17:00.000-06:002007-12-04T20:17:00.000-06:00Greast post.Anger at God is destructive.

It doesn't do any good, it's just emotionally draining for you, then what have you got left to fight disease or support someone who is trying to fight disease?<BR/><BR/>Anger is just draining in general - I'd love my attitudes to quickly move past anger onto trying to fix things, or make the best of things.kristarellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06476947375513890100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26615740.post-89257646879967396992007-12-04T19:34:00.000-06:002007-12-04T19:34:00.000-06:00Wow.

That is part of our purpose here in life--to learn and grow; and to learn to rely on God.<BR/><BR/>Good for you for the positive outlook. And it's times like these where we really need to count our blessings.goddessdivinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649750585495782767noreply@blogger.com
